Product Description

Yamaha SY-1 for sale.

You'll find info about these in all the usual places online. Slightly less features than a CS-80 :) but what you need to know from us is that, while they are limited, we think these sound pretty wonderful. The aftertouch controls and other ways of sculpting the presets (including the GX-1 filter) make them an expressive instrument.

As for finding an example like in this kind of condition (many were gigged and show a lot of signs of use) - there can't be many like this. Add in the massively over-engineered stand, music stand and a carry case for the accessories and it's the complete package.

Fun Fact: as well as being linked to Royksopp, one of these features in the film Shaun of the Dead as a key part of the track "Blue Wrath" by Sheffield electronic legends I Monster (shout out to the Sheffield Massive!). Youtube video below...

Condition

One scuff to a corner is the only real sign of age. See the photos for more information.
